"AC quit. Referred to Larry's by neighbor's plumber. Had received a quote from another company for $9300 AC replacement following their inspection. Other company's tech said there was leak and freon could not be replaced anymore. No longer available. Within an hour, Larry's sent Jerome who did a very thorough inspection, was here well over an hour, put in 1.5lb freon, replaced another part...I can't recall what...and AC blows cold again. He said it looked like system had frozen probably from low freon level, and there possibly is a leak somewhere, maybe only microleak that would require recharging every year or so. He advised that we monitor and call if necessary to investigate further. He advised that we nurse this one as long as possible because new units are not made like the old ones... thinner metal, less quality control, and all the usual things associated with modern appliances. Cost was $250+/- for inspection, part, labor and freon. Will definitely call again when needed."

FAQs for swamp cooler installation and replacement projects in Dalton, GA

Swamp coolers are quite energy-efficient, using only 15% to 35% of the electricity that traditional central air conditioning units consume. This can lead to significant savings on your energy bills. However, keep in mind that swamp coolers require water to operate and may not cool your home as effectively in extremely hot or humid conditions. When considering overall efficiency, it is essential to weigh both electricity and water usage, as well as the cooling needs specific to your local climate.

Evaporative coolers only work in dry climates because they cool by moistening the air. If the air is already moist, this will have little to no cooling effect. Central AC is a better choice if you live in a humid climate, such as the Midwest, eastern, or western coastal regions.

To install a swamp cooler on a roof, a local HVAC specialist will first find and cut a spot free of wiring and obstructions. They’ll then install metal bracing, legs, brackets, the ceiling duct register, ductwork, power, and thermostat wires. Once installed, they’ll seal all openings, attach duct connections, and install a thermostat. Before leaving, they’ll run cool water piping to the unit and inspect all the connections.

The cost to repair your swamp cooler ranges from $50 to $600, depending on the issue, whether new parts are needed, and the chosen repair service. Depending on the type of pad your system uses, you will need to change out the pads every one to three years for proper operation. When budgeting for the cost to repair a window unit, expect to pay around $230.

The U.S. Department of Energy states that swamp coolers can cool a single room by five to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. However, this largely depends on the size and installation method of the evaporative cooler. You can only achieve these results in a dry climate, such as the American South, as it’s easier to cool rooms in humid environments with central air.

Swamp cooler water usage varies depending on the size of the unit. Smaller evaporative units may use one gallon per hour, while much larger units could use up to 15 gallons of water per hour. Most homeowners can expect their unit to use between seven and 10 gallons of water per hour of usage.
